What is a centimeter per square second?

It is a unit of acceleration indicating a velocity change of one centimeter per second every second, equal to 0.01 metres per second squared.

What does hectometer per square second measure?

It measures acceleration as the velocity change of one hectometer (100 meters) per second every second, equal to 100 metres per second squared.

When should I use this conversion?

Use it to convert small scale acceleration values to larger metric units for physics, engineering, biomechanics, or sensor calibration applications where standardized units are needed.
